    Why Am I Continuing to Be a Remote Work Entrepreneur Despite It Being H.A.R.D.?

    Even though entrepreneurship as a remote worker scares me and makes me nervous, I am continuing to do it anyway because:

    • The success is mine all mine, just as much as any failure or hardship is mine when it happens.
    • My personal and professional growth has been accelerated by the constant challenges I face – facing my fears breeds growth. That’s very personally satisfying for me.
    • I am constantly learning and growing, and as a naturally curious person (aka a nerd), this is ideal for me mentally.
    • My time is mine all mine, sort of, I have a bit more flexibility than I would have as a new person in a new job.
    • I love being supportive as a coach/mentor to new agents and seeing their transformation and growth as they overcome their own fears and go after their goals. Honestly, this was one of my goals before I ever started this work, so fulfilling the goal of being a coach/mentor has been a win for me.

    Why does remote work entrepreneurship make me nervous?

    Remote Work Entrepreneurship is H.A.R.D. Everything falls on your own shoulders, both the good and the bad, the success and the failure. You are responsible for

    List of Responsibilities for an Entrepreneur:

    • license, registration, or certification: if you do not remember to register, to renew, to re-certify, or whatever’s required for your business structure or contract, then your business could be in jeopardy
    • taxes: no one pays your taxes for you but you, and if you don’t pay now, you’ll pay a lot more later
    • invoicing: to make sure you actually get paid by your clients you have to do the work to submit the invoices to them in a timely manner
    • assets, equipment, and inventory: you have to make sure everything you need to keep the business up and running is taken care of or purchased in a timely manner to meet business needs
    • insurance: you have to make sure your business is protected in case of disaster or crime
    • bills: if you don’t pay them, they won’t get paid, and then your business could suffer and/or be shut down

    Planting My Own Seeds of Transformation

    Plant Your Seeds of Transformation Podcast Episode – Traumas: How to Survive and Thrive

    What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

    I am the host of the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast. On the first episode for Season 4, I shared about how I have learned to survive multiple crises and thrive despite complex ongoing traumas. I am so glad to see this writing prompt because everyone needs to be intentional about self-care and that means we need to take time to really think about it and plan, instead of just going through the motions like a robot every day.

    In the podcast (on YouTube), I shared tips to help you understand what real transformation can look like for you. This is important that you will truly be better from the inside out and not just look better.

    I am determined to understand myself better and better over time so I can be a better me inside out. My wellness has to start inside so it can manifest outside. Think of this like a seed that you can’t see in the dirt, but eventually it pops up through the soil and one day it has beautiful flowers or delicious fruit. The flowers and fruit came last! It took time and pressure and heat and water and sun to get to the pretty or delicious result.

    I hope my podcast will help you or someone you know to plant your seeds of transformation. Please subscribe, like, share and turn on notifications.

    In my latest podcast for the “Plant Your Seeds of Transformation” show, I talked about the topic of intentionality and how that is connected to having a small business that makes a big impact in the world. I hope you will listen (or watch) and leave me feedback to let me know what “aha moments” you had while you listened.

    During this podcast, I discussed intentionality from a spiritual perspective and from a practical perspective.

    What is your understanding of what it means to be more intentional in your life and in your business?

    One example I used was related to how mothers hope and dream for their children. How do you allow your parenting to inform how you handle your business as a VA or your career as a remote worker?

    TESTIMONIAL

    “I highly recommend Donna as a consultant and trusted advisor for executing your projects and expanding your brand visibility.”

    ~ Lucinda Cross-Otiti, Author / Speaker / Coach, CEO of Activate Worldwide. and founder of Activate Your Life 501c3

    Your Struggles and Questions Matter to Me

    I know very well how it feels to build a business or an organization, including a speaking or writing business, and do the marketing yourself because you have no team and limited funds to invest in marketing. I also know how frustrating it is to get stuck on something that either is not your area of expertise or just takes too much of your time.

    So, I created the “Show Me” monthly membership to provide you with a little support with learning so that you can continue to do your marketing on your own but with guidance that is affordable.

    I also have provided members with access to affordable micro services so that you can pay per task affordably, instead of having to hire me to do a full project that may be beyond your budget at this time.

    ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL

    “Donna is very personable and understanding. She pays attention to detail to the point of perfection. She is an independent worker and will see any project she undertakes to the completion. I consider it an honor to recommend her as a colleague.”

    ~ Linda Kirkpatrick, Director, Family Patterns Matter
